Ok so I assume
28 and decreased by 12.5%
percent means partst out of 100 so
12.5%=12.5/100=0.125
first find 12.5% of 28 then subtract
0.125 times 28=3.5
decrease
28-3.5=24.5
answer is 24.5
Explanation
The shaded area represents a segment. This can be solved with the formula below;

Since the triangle is an equilateral triangle, it implies that the angle subtended at the centre is 60 degrees. Also, the given radius is 7 cm

Answer:
Just find the slope between the points
basically find (f(10)-f(7))/(10-7)
f(7)=7^2-3(7)-4=49-21-4=24
f(10)=10^2-3(10)-4=100-30-4=66
slope=(66-24)/(10-7)=42/3=14
average rate of change is 14
<span>2x/4x+2 x 14 x+7/6 is unclear. Do you mean 2/4x, or do you mean 2x
-------- ??
4x+2
Use parentheses to make things clearer.
I will assume that you meant to write
2x
--------- * 14x + 7/6
4x + 2
but am very much unsure if this is correct or not.
Perhaps you meant
</span>2x/(4x+2) times 14(x+7/6)
<span>
This comes out as follows:
2x * 14 (x + 7/6) 28x(x + 7/6) 14x(x + 7/6)
------------------------ = ------------------- = --------------------
4x+2 2(2x + 1) 2x + 1 after reduction.
Performing the multiplication, we get 14x^2 + 98/6
--------------------
2x+1

It appears that you're using "x" both as a variable name and as the "multiply" operator. If so, please don't! Use " * " to indicate multiplication.
